Growing Up & Facts of Life

Alyce Bonura is a single mother who takes a position as the Bunny Mother of the Chicago Playboy Club to not only flee from a negative relationship but to pursue a career that guarantees financial freedom and upward mobility. Unfortunately, all is not what is assured or expected. Mother Rabbit is a collaborative memoir about a woman like so many others in the 1960’s, caught between living according to traditional societal mores and pursuing the promises of the feminist movement. Alyce’s stint as the Bunny Mother is set during a particularly turbulent era when even such a secluded environment as Playboy is affected by the Viet Nam War, the Apollo I tragedy and back ally abortions. Her story pays tribute to the women who had the courage to break free from the oppressive standards of the day while also dealing with the universal dilemmas of single mothers including abuse, financial crises, the special difficulties of parenthood and the quest for self-fulfillment.

Tink's Tank chronicles the adventures of the crew members of a U.S. Eighth Air Force B-17 during WW II. The narrator tells his tale in response to a request from his granddaughter who is enrolled in a college course about the history of WW II. He tells her about each of his fellow crew members, the people they meet during their war time experiences in England, the locale for most of the story. 
 Crew members of Tank’s Tank find themselves involved in experiences in London and between themselves that transform each as they fight to stay alive in air battles that test their courage and stamina as a crew. It is more than a coming-of-age story and more than a story of the air war over Europe—It is the interactions and connections of events, people, fact and fiction that foment growth, change and deliverance from the past. Tink's Tank takes one on an adventure and returns the reader to post-war life through twist and turns in the epilogue. 
 Tink's Tank by Gary Best has been, hands down, the best reading experience I've had in a long time! Best's narrative is strong, vivid, and compelling, with characters so fully rounded and scenes so well depicted you feel as if you're there beside them. And if that weren't satisfying enough, Best has also tossed in a fair share of surprises. I can truly say that once I started reading Tink's Tank, I found it impossible to put down. --Dwight Jon Zimmerman, award-winning military historian and #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Genre Fiction

Confessions of A Do-Gooder Gone Bad is a wry, humorous coming of age memoir about a well-intentioned "problem child" raised by conservative, evangelical Christian parents in Southern California during the Sixties and Seventies. As she naively stumbles through her youth and young adulthood, one misadventure after another, she also struggles to reconcile her ultra-Christian upbringing with women's liberation, prejudice, protest and poverty during this turbulent era, eventually gaining a different perspective of faith in a world more complicated, terrifying, funny and wonderful than she expected.

Agaton Sax and the Criminal Doubles

Franzén, Nils-Olof

Action & Adventure

When taking a well-deserved holiday in the beautiful country of Brosnia, Agaton Sax and his faithful dachshund find themselves on the wrong side of the law when the great detective is declared to be an imposter and arrested. Meanwhile, a gang of criminals are planning to wreak havoc with the most dangerous invention of the century: silent explosives! 
Agaton Sax must clear his name and catch the dangerous crooks, all whilst dealing with a suspicious Inspector Lispington, a man with one steel shoe, a gang of angry racing car drivers and a pair of interfering aunts. 
Sounds like just another standard case for Sweden's greatest detective... 
The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. 
Now, after many years out of print, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series, newly translated and illustrated for the next generation. This new collection includes the eleventh book which has never before been released in English.
